Ere I had felt thy scourges, Lord,

Shall raise my cheerful passions more
Than all the treasures of the south,
Or western hills of golden ore.

And guard me safe from death and sin.

At my salvation shall rejoice;
For I have trusted in thy word,
And made thy grace my only choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:71-74 Languages: English
